Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for the ME Association – which started out on the workwithus website but moved across here in March 2008.
After Luke Collyer's sensational withdrawal from this 4,000-mile trek on 4 July, 2008, former British Army captain Ed Stafford is forging ahead alone with just local guides for company.
He's now in Pucallpa, Peru, and has reached the quarter-way mark. When he reaches the mouth of the Amazon in a year and eight months, he will be the first human-being ever to have walked from source to mouth without interruption.
You can keep up with Ed's progress by subscribing to his blog at the following website:
Walking the Amazon
Ed is raising money for six charities – including the ME Association's special fund to raise money for an ME post-mortem and tissue bank research facility to be set up in a UK hospital to help with studies into the physical nature of this devastating illness.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us. So please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
All of us at the ME Association, but most of all from Ed!
